Words by Post updated with support for Windows 8 players

The popular Scrabble-style board game Words by Post continues to be supported by developer Jeff Cole. The latest update (v2.9) adds support for the Windows 8 client of Words by Post, along with a number of tweaks and bug fixes.

From the changelog:

Words By Post is now compatible with Windows 8 devices! So you can now play your friends even if they don't have a smartphone!

Updated head-to-head to include win/loss record of your opponent.

Update or change your account password from the app settings.

Automatically detects and attempts to fix games that get into a corrupt state.

Bug fix so that that the score bubble never falls off the screen on the right side.

Bug fix where word definition would sometimes only search for one letter of highlighted word.

Bug fix so that receiving chat messages does not cause the currently placed tiles on the board to be recalled to the rack.

This game has been a constant companion on my Windows Phone devices since reviewing it last year. While there's no AI to play against, there is a huge pool of players online to play against, or you can start a game with your own friends. Play is asynchronous (so you make your move and wait for your opponent to play). It's a slow paced way to play, but one that suits the 'glance and go' nature of Windows Phone.
